Smoothness a Revelation 


Users will be pleased at the quietness 
and smoothness with which Rich-Wil 
Hangers operate. Their high quality is 
taken for granted, and justly so, but 
their smoothness, quietness and ease of 
operation will be a revelation, a pleasant 
surprise! 

Three Main Parts 


The hanger is composed of three main 
parts: 


(1) Steel Angle Wall Plate to which is 
attached the Stationary Track with 
its limit stops. 


(2) Ball Retainer with its %” diame- 
ter ball bearings. 


(3) A Running Track attached to the 
rider bar (which resembles a hous- 
ing) and to which is attached limit 
rollers and the pendants to which 
are fastened the door plates or 
aprons. 


Steel Angle and Stationary Track 


The steel angle wall plate is designed 
to be attached to the wall. The project- 
ing ledge of the steel angle above the 
top of the track serves to protect the 
hanger from falling dirt and also makes 
a very convenient place for attaching a 
cover, if a cover is required. The steel 
angle also makes a much stiffer con- 
struction than a flat plate. 

The stationary track, with a limit stop 
at each end, is firmly attached to the wall 
plate. The track proper is a heavy sec- 


For Single Sliding Doors 


[ Or for Combination Swing and Slide Doors 


When track is attached to swinging transom arm 


tion of hard cold rolled steel into which 
a perfectly smooth runway for the large 
ball bearings has been machined. 


One of the most important installa- 
tion features is that Rich-Wil Hangers 
require less headroom than any of the 
other hangers on the market. 


Ball Retainer 


The ball retainer is composed of two 
pieces of channel shaped steel fastened 
together and slotted every three inches, 
into each of these slots a large high duty 
34” diameter ball bearing is placed. 
These balls roll on the top of the station- 
ary track, and the running track runs on 
the top of the balls. The ball retainer is 
located above the stationary track and 
below the running track. 

The quietness, smoothness and ease of 
operation of the Rich-Wil Hanger is due 
to a great extent not only to the per- 
fectly machined runways of the two hard 
rolled steel tracks but to the closeness of 
the spacing of the ball bearings, to their 
large size and to the heaviness of the 
materials used which tend to absorb or 
deaden sounds. 


Running Track 


The running track, also termed a rider 
bar, which runs over the top of the balls, 
is formed from a hard cold rolled steel 
bar, into which a very smooth runway is 
accurately machined. This track is at- 
tached to a steel angle (resembling a 
housing), one leg of which drops over 
the front of the hanger to enclose it.

_—— Richards Wilcox ___—_—_——————————) 


\ , YE wish to draw the special attention of our 
friends to our New Line of Hangers as 
illustrated on these and the following pages. 

Rich-Wil Hangers are the culmination of all of 
our years of elevator door hanger research and 
manufacturing knowledge. 

To say that we are proud of the result would be 
stating it mildly. Rich-Wil Hangers are so far 
ahead of anything we have had before or of other 
hangers on the market that there is absolutely no 
room for comparison. 

We realize that the above assertion covers con- 
siderable territory. However, we'll stand back of 
it and believe you will, too, when you are familiar 


with the merits of Rich-Wil Hangers.

Quietness of Operation 


Quietly, smoothly, easily—thus move 
Rich-Wil Hangers! Superfine equip- 
ment fashioned for the world’s most no- 
table buildings. Designed to operate 
quietly, for use in the land’s great hos- 
pitals, where quietness must be observed. 


One of the most important installa- 
tion features is that Rich-Wil Hangers 
require less headroom than any of the 
other hangers on the market. 


Three Main Parts 


The hanger is composed of three main 
parts: 


(1) Steel Angle Wall Plate to which is 
attached the Stationary Track 
with its mit stops. 


(2) Ball Retainer with its %” diame- 
ter ball bearings. 


(3) A Running Track attached to the 
rider bar (which resembles a hous- 
ing) and to which is attached limit 
rollers and the pendants to which 
are fastened the door plates or 
aprons. 


Steel Angle and Stationary Track 


The steel angle wall plate is designed 
to be attached to the wall. The project- 
ing ledge of the steel angle above the top 
of the track serves to protect the hanger 
from falling dirt and also makes a very 
convenient place for attaching a cover, 
if a cover is required. The steel angle 
also makes a much stiffer construction 
than a flat plate. 

The stationary track, with a limit stop 
at each end, is firmly attached to the 
wall plate. The track proper is a heavy

section of hard cold rolled steel into 
which a perfectly smooth runway for the 
large ball bearings has been machined. 


Ball Retainer 


The ball retainer is composed of two 
pieces of channel shaped steel fastened 
together and slotted every three inches, 
into each of these slots a large high duty 
3%,” diameter ball bearing is placed. 
These balls roll on the top of the station- 
ary track, and the running track runs on 
the top of the balls. The ball retainer is 
located above the stationary track and 
below the running track. 

The quietness, smoothness and ease of 
operation of the Rich-Wil Hanger is due 
to a great extent not only to the perfect- 
ly machined runways of the two hard 
rolled steel tracks, but to the closeness 
of the spacing of the ball bearings, to 
their large size and to the heaviness of 
the materials used which tend to absorb 
or deaden sounds. 


Running Track 


The running track, also termed a rider 
bar, which runs over the top of the balls, 
is formed from a hard cold rolled steel 
bar, into which a very smooth runway is 
accurately machined. This track is at- 
tached to a steel angle (resembling a 
housing), one leg of which drops over 
the front of the hanger to enclose it. 


2-Speed Equipment 


In the 2-speed equipment, the slow 
door running track (or rider bar) is 
connected to the ball retainer of the fast 
door. The ball retainer always moves 
just half as fast as the door, consequent- 
ly the slow door will move just half as 
fast as the fast door. No gears are used. 


List Prices 





Limit Rollers 


One at either end of the rider bar, are 
adjustable. They prevent doors from 
jumping or raising. 


Hanger Pendants 


permit lateral and vertical adjustment 
of the doors. 


Plate Attachments 


are furnished for wood, kalamein, angle 
iron or grill doors; hollow metal doors 
are drilled and tapped to receive the 
pendant bolts.

Triumph of Construction 


All the engineering knowledge and 
mechanical skill of the Richards-Wilcox 
organization was drawn upon to produce 
this Triumph of Elevator Door Hanger 
Construction. 

It was intended that the hanger oper- 
ate quietly—it does! It was intended 
that it operate smoothly—it does! It 
was intended that it operate easily—it 
does! 

It will please in every particular—we 
are sure of it! 


One of the most important installa- 
tion features 1s that Rich-Wil Hangers 
require less headroom than any of the 
other hangers on the market. 


Three Main Parts 


The hanger is composed of three main 
parts: 

(1) Steel Angle Wall Plate to which is 
attached the Stationary Track with 
its limit stops. 

(2) Ball Retainer with its %” diameter 
ball bearings. 

(3) A Running Track attached to the 
rider bar (which resembles a hous- 
ing) and to which is attached limit 
rollers and the pendants to which 
are fastened the door plates or 


aprons. 
Steel Angle and Stationary Track 


The steel angle wall plate is designed 
to be attached to the wall. The project- 
ing ledge of the steel angle above the top 
of the track serves to protect the hanger 
from falling dirt and also makes a very 
convenient place for attaching a cover, 
if a cover is required. The steel angle 
also makes a much stiffer construction 
than a flat plate. 





A 
RICHAROS —W/LCO >< 


For 3-Speed Doors 


The stationary track, with a limit stop 
at each end, is firmly attached to the wall 
plate. The track proper is a heavy sec- 
tion of hard cold rolled steel into which 
a perfectly smooth runway for the large 
ball bearings has been machined. 


Ball Retainer 


The ball retainer is composed of two 
pieces of channel shaped steel fastened 
together and slotted every three inches, 
into each of these slots a large high duty 
3%,” diameter ball bearing is placed. 
These balls roll on the top of the station- 
ary track, and the running track runs on 
the top of the balls. The ball retainer 
is located above the stationary track and 
below the running track. 

The quietness, smoothness and ease 
of operation of the Rich-Wil Hanger is 
due to a great extent not only to the per- 
fectly machined runways of the two 
hard rolled steel tracks but to the close- 
ness of the spacing of the ball bearings, 
to their large size and to the heaviness 
of the materials used which tend to ab- 
sorb or deaden sounds. 


Running Track 


The running track, also termed a rider 
bar, which runs over the top of the balls, 
is formed from a hard cold rolled steel 
bar, into which a very smooth runway is 
accurately machined. This track is at- 
tached to a steel angle (resembling a 
housing), one leg of which drops over 
the front of the hanger to enclose it. 


Limit Rollers 


One at either end of the rider bar are 
adjustable. They prevent doors from 
jumping or raising.

Worthy of Respect 


The fashioning of Rich-Wil Hangers 
is an accomplishment of which we are 
justly proud. 

With consummate skill engineers and 
artisans planned, worked and experi- 
mented for years before their efforts 
were crowned with success. 

Neat, strong, silent, easy operating, 
scientifically correct in every detail, the 
Rich-Wil Hanger is worthy of your most 
profound respect. 


One of the most important installa- 
tion features 1s that Rich-Wil Hangers 
require less headroom than any of the 
other hangers on the market. 


Four Main Parts 


The hanger is composed of four main 
parts: 


(1) Ste.l Angle Wall Plate to which is 
attached the Stationary Track with 
its limit stops. 


(2) Ball Retainer with its 3%” diameter 
ball bearings. 


(3) A Running Track attached to the 
rider bar (which resembles a hous- 
ing) and to which is attached limit 
rollers and the pendants to which 
are fastened the door plates or 
aprons. 


(4) Bi-Parting Device. 


Steel Angle and Stationary Track 


The steel angle wall plate is designed 
to be attached to the wall. The project- 
ing ledge of the steel angle above the top 
of the track serves to protect the hanger 
from falling dirt and also makes a very 
convenient place for attaching a cover, 
if a cover is required. The steel angle 
also makes a much stiffer construction 
than a flat plate. 


For Doors in Pairs 


The stationary track, with a limit stop 
at each end, is firmly attached to the wall 
plate. The track proper is a heavy sec- 
tion of hard cold rolled steel into which 
a perfectly smooth runway for the large 
ball bearings has been machined. 


Ball Retainer 


The ball retainer is composed of two 
pieces of channel shaped steel fastened 
together and slotted every three inches, 
into each of these slots a large high duty 
%4" diameter ball bearing is placed. 
These balls roll on the top of the station- 
ary track, and the running track runs on 
the top of the balls. The ball retainer is 
located above the stationary track and 
below the running track. 

The quietness, smoothness and ease of 
operation of the Rich-Wil Hanger is due 
to a great extent not only to the perfect- 
ly machined runways of the two hard 
rolled steel tracks but to the closeness of 
the spacing of the ball bearings, to their 
large size and to the heaviness of the 
materials used which tend to absorb or 
deaden sounds. 


Running Track 


The running track, also termed a rider 
bar, which runs over the top of the balls, 
is formed from a hard cold rolled steel 
bar, into which a very smooth runway is 
accurately machined. This track is at- 
tached to a steel angle (resembling a 
housing) one leg of which drops over the 
front of the hanger to enclose it.

adjustable. They prevent doors from 
jumping or raising.

List Prices 





Apron Attachments 


are furnished for wood or kalamein 
doors.

metal doors are drilled and tapped to re- 
ceive the pendant bolts. 


Bi-Parting Device 


The No. 830 Bi-Parting type of hanger 
is equipped with a block chain. Experi- 
ments have proved that this method was 
in every way to be preferred. It operates 
much more quietly than a geared device. 
It is very easily adjusted. Each of the 
sheaves is mounted on a plate which can 
be adjusted to give the chain the proper 
tension, and to properly center the 
doors. The chain being flexible will not 
for any reason cause binding of the op- 
erating mechanism.

Incomparable Hangers 


We have manufactured excellent ele- 
vator door hangers for many years, but 
jit remained for the perfecting of the 
Rich-Wil Line of Hangers to thoroughly 
satisfy us in every particular. 

We believe these Rich-Wil Hangers to 
be as nearly perfect as it is possible for 
human ingenuity to produce. 

They operate quietly, smoothly, eas- 
ily. 

When it becomes possible to improve 
upon them, or to build better ones, we 
will strive mightily to do so. Meanwhile 
confidence in this equipment will not be 
misplaced. 


One of the most important installa- 
tion features is that Rich-Wil Hangers 
require less headroom than any of the 
other hangers on the market. 


Door Operation 


No. 832 Rich-Wil Hangers are used 
in openings having one sliding door and 
one hinged door. The sliding door is the 
active door in constant use, but the 
hangers are made to permit both doors 
to swing into the corridor to secure full 
width of elevator opening when re- 
quired. 

The top of the sliding door is pivoted 
to the hanger bar and the bottom of the 
door is guided by a shoe attached to the 
hinged door. 


It is usually more satisfactory to ar- 
range to swing the transom bar if pos- 
sible and to use No. 827 hanger. 


Three Main Parts 
The hanger is composed of three main 
parts: 


(1) Steel Angle Wall Plate to which is 
attached the Stationary Track with 
its limit stops. 

(2) Ball Retainer with its %” diameter 
ball bearings. 





No. 832 


RICHA ROS —-W/LCO<— 


(3) A Running Track attached to the 
rider bar (which resembles a hous- 
ing) and to which is attached limit 
rollers and the pendants to which 
are fastened the door plates or 
aprons. 


Steel Angle and Stationary Track 


The steel angle wall plate is designed 
to be attached to the wall. The project- 
ing ledge of the steel angle above the 
top of the track serves to protect the 
hanger from falling dirt and also makes 
a very convenient place for attaching a 
cover, if a cover is required. The steel 
angle also makes a much stiffer construc- 
tion than a flat plate. 

The stationary track, with a limit stop 
at each end, is firmly attached to the 
wall plate. The track proper is a heavy 
section of hard cold rolled steel into 
which a perfectly smooth runway for the 
large ball bearings has been machined. 


Ball Retainer 


The ball retainer is composed of two 
pieces of channel shaped steel fastened 
together and slotted every three inches, 
into each of these slots a large high duty 
3%,” diameter ball bearing is placed. 
These balls roll on the top of the station- 
ary track, and the running track runs on 
the top of the balls. The ball retainer is 
located above the stationary track and 
below the running track. 

The quietness, smoothness and ease of 
operation of the Rich-Wil Hanger is due 
to a great extent not only to the perfect- 
ly machined runways of the two hard 
rolled steel tracks but to the closeness of 
the spacing of the ball bearings, to their 
large size and to the heaviness of the 
materials used which tend to absorb or 
deaden sounds. 


Running Track 


The running track, also termed a rider 
bar, which runs over the top of the balls, 
is formed from a hard cold rolled steel

No. 833 





For 2-Speed Combination Swing and Slide Doors 


Latest Improvements 


The latest improvements of elevator 
door hanger construction and operation 
have been incorporated in Rich-Wil 
Hangers. 

Of commanding interest is the fact 
that Rich-Wil Hangers operate with a 
quietness, smoothness and ease never 
before reached by other hangers. 

We realize that this is a broad state- 
ment, but an examination of the hangers 
will fully substantiate the assertion. 

One of the most important installation 
features 1s that Rich-Wil Hangers re- 
quire less headroom than any of the 
other hangers on the market. 


Door Operation 


No. 833 Rich-Wil Hangers are used 
in openings having 2-speed sliding doors 
and one hinged door. The sliding doors 
are the active doors in constant use, but 
the hangers are made to permit all of 
the doors to swing into the corridor to 
secure full width of elevator opening 
when required. 


Hinged Stationary Door 


The top of each door is pivoted to the 
hanger bar and ordinary flush bolts with 
round pins, which are lowered into holes 
in the iron saddle, serve as bottom piv- 
ots. Care must be taken to locate the 
center of the flush bolts exactly below 
and in line with the pivots in the top fix- 
ture. When the doors slide, the bolts 
act in the grooves in the saddle as guides. 

It is usually preferable to arrange to 
use No. 828 Hangers attached to a 
swinging transom bar. 


Three Main Parts 


The hanger is composed of three main 
parts: 

(1) Steel Angle Wall Plate to which is 
attached the Stationary Track with 
its limit stops. 

(2) Ball Retainer with its 4” diameter 
ball bearings. 

(3) A Running Track attached to the 
rider bar (which resembles a hous- 
ing) and to which is attached limit 
rollers and the pendants to which 
are fastened the door plates or 
aprons. 


Steel Angle and Stationary Track 


The steel angle wall plate is designed 
to be attached to the wall. The project- 
ing ledge of the steel angle above the 
top of the track serves to protect the 
hanger from falling dirt and also makes 
a very convenient place for attaching a 
cover, if a cover is required. The steel 
angle also makes a much stiffer construc- 
tion than a flat plate. 

The stationary track, with a limit stop 
at each end, is firmly attached to the 
wall plate. The track proper is a heavy 
section of hard cold rolled steel into 
which a perfectly smooth runway for the 
large ball bearings has been machined. 


Ball Retainer 


The ball retainer is composed of two 
pieces of channel shaped steel fastened 
together and slotted every three inches, 
into each of these slots a large high duty, 
3,” diameter, ball bearing is placed. 
These balls roll on the top of the station- 
ary track, and the running track runs on 
the top of the balls. The ball retainer 
is located above the stationary track and 
below the running track. 

The quietness, smoothness and ease of 
operation of the Rich-Wil Hanger is due 
to a great extent not only to the per- 
fectly machined runways of the two 
hard rolled steel tracks, but to the close- 
ness of the spacing of the ball bearings, 
to their large size and to the heaviness 
of the materials used which tend to ab- 
sorb or deaden sounds. 


Running Track 


The running track, also termed a rider 
bar, which runs over the top of the balls, 
is formed from a hard cold rolled steel 
bar, into which a very smooth runway is 
accurately machined. This track is at- 
tached to a steel angle (resembling a 
housing), one leg of which drops over 
the front of the hanger to enclose it. 


2-Speed Equipment 


In the 2-speed equipment, the slow 
door running track (or rider bar) is con- 
nected to the ball retainer of the fast 
door. The ball retainer always moves 
just half as fast as the door, consequent- 
ly the slow door will move just half as 
fast as the fast door. No gears are used.

Rich-Wil Hangers operate with un- 
gsual quietness, smoothness and ease: 
They are fitting equipment for the 
world’s most richly appointed and ma- 
jestic buildings. 

One of the most important installa- 
tion features is that Rich-Wil Hangers 
require less headroom than any of the 
other hangers on the market. 


Four Main Parts 


The hanger is composed of four main 
parts: 

(1) Steel Angle Wall Plate to which is 
attached the Stationary Track with 
its limit st, 3. 

(2) Ball Retainer with its %” diameter 
ball bearings. 


(3) A Running Track attached to the 
rider bar (which resembles a hous- 
ing) and to which is attached limit 
rollers and the pendants to which 
are fastened the door plates or 
aprons. 


(4) Bi-Parting Device. 
Steel Angle and Stationary Track 


The steel angle wall plate is designed 
to be attached to the wall. The project- 
ing ledge of the steel angle above the 
top of the track serves to protect the 
hanger from falling dirt and also makes 
a very convenient place for attaching a 
cover, if a cover is required. The steel 
angle also makes a much stiffer con- 
truction than a flat plate.

plate. The track proper is a heavy

section of hard cold rolled steel into 
which a perfectly smooth runway for the 
large ball bearings has been machined. 


Ball Retainer 


The ball retainer is composed of two 
pieces of channel shaped steel fastened 
together and slotted every three inches, 
into each of these slots a large high duty 
%” diameter ball bearing is placed. 
These balls roll on the top of the sta- 
tionary track, and the running track 
runs on the top of the balls. The ball re- 
tainer is located above the stationary 
track and below the running track. 

The quietness, smoothness and ease of 
operation of the Rich-Wil Hanger is due 
to a great extent not only to the perfect- 
ly machined runways of the two hard 
rolled steel tracks but to the closeness of 
the spacing of the ball bearings, to their 
large size and to the heaviness of the 
materials used which tend to absorb or 
deaden sounds. 


Running Track 


The running track, also termed a rider 
bar, which runs over the top of the balls, 
is formed from a hard cold rolled steel 
bar into which a very smooth runway is 
accurately machined. This track is at- 
tached to a steel angle (resembling a 
housing), one leg of which drops over 
the front of the hanger to enclose it. 


2-Speed Equipment 


In this 2-speed equipment, the slow 
door running track (or rider bar) is con- 
nected to the ball retainer of the fast 
door. The ball retainer always moves 
just half as fast as the door, consequent- 
ly the slow door will move just half as 
fast as the fast door. No gears are used. 


Limit Rollers 


One at either end of the rider bar are 
adjustable. They prevent doors from 
jumping or raising.

permit lateral and vertical adjustment 
of the doors. 


Plate Attachments 


are furnished for wood, kalamein, angle 
iron or grill doors; hollow metal doors 
are drilled and tapped to receive the 
pendant bolts. 


Bi-Parting Device 


The No. 834 Bi-Parting type of hanger 
is equipped with a block chain. Experi- 
ments have proved that this method was 
in every way to be preferred. It oper- 
ates much more quietly than a geared 
device. It is very easily adjusted. Each 
of the sheaves is mounted on a plate 
which can be adjusted to give the chain 
the proper tension, and to properly cen- 
ter the doors. The chain being flexible 
will not for any reason cause binding of 
the operating mechanism. 

Finish, dead black. 

Packed with screws for attaching.

For Combination Swing and Slide Doors 








No. 732 Ideal Elevator Door Hangers 
are used in openings having one sliding 
and one hinged door. The sliding door 
is the active door in constant use, but 
the hangers are made to permit both 
doors to swing into the corridor to secure 
full width of elevator opening when re- 
quired. 


The top of the sliding door is pivoted 
to the hanger bar and the bottom of the 
door is guided by a shoe attached to the 
hinged door. A better installation will 
result if an ordinary flush bolt with 
round pin is located in the back edge 
of the bottom of the door, as shown in 
the circle. The bolt is lowered into a 
hole in the iron saddle to serve as a bot- 
tom pivot when the door is swung out 
into the corridor. Care must be taken 
to locate the center of the flush bolt ex- 
actly below and in line with the pivot 
in the top fixture. 


It is usually more satisfactory to 
arrange to swing the transom bar if pos- 
sible and to use No. 727 Hangers.

No. 1132 BAR:‘Way Hangers 


For Combination Swing and Slide Doors 











No. 1132 BaR-Way Hangers are used in openings having one 


sliding and one hinged door. The sliding door is the active door 
in constant use, but the hangers are made to permit both doors 
to swing into the corridor to secure full width of elevator open- 
ing when required. The top of the sliding door is pivoted to 
the hanger bar and the bottom of the door is guided by a shoe 
attached to the hinged door. 

It is usually more satisfactory to arrange to swing the tran- 
som bar if possible and to use No. 1127 Hanger. 

This high-grade ball bearing hanger is made of malleable 
iron. Solid steel wheel has running surface ground true and 
smooth. The hanger wheel is made so it can be lubricated by 
the Zerk system.

No. 1133 BAR:WAY Hangers 


For 2-Speed Combination Swing and Slide Doors 














No. 1133 BaR-Way Hangers are used in openings having 
2-speed sliding doors and one hinged door. The sliding doors 
are the active doors in constant use, but the hangers are made 
to permit all doors to swing into the corridor to secure full 
width of elevator opening when required. 

The top of the sliding doors is pivoted to the hanger bar 
and ordinary flush bolts with round pins which are lowered 
into holes in the iron saddle serve as bottom pivots. Care must 
be taken to locate the center of the flush bolts exactly below 
and in line with the pivots in the top fixture. When the doors 
slide, the bolts act in the grooves in the saddle as guides. 

It is usually preferable to arrange to swing the transom bar 
and use No. 1128 Hangers. 

No. 1133 is a high-grade ball bearing hanger made of mal- 
leable iron. Has a solid steel wheel whose running surface is

For Their Purpose, BaR-Way Hangers Will Meet with Your Entire Approval 48 


———————————— Richards Wilcox _——————) 


No. 1400 
ELECTRIC 





Elevator Door Operator 


Patented 


This device is a combination elevator door opener, closer and inter- 
lock. 


With it the doors are electrically opened and closed at a greater and 
more constant speed, in a more sure, safe and uniform manner, and with 
less noise than if they were manually operated. This permits of FAST- 
ER and more satisfactory elevator service, as no time is lost at the 
various floors struggling to open or close the doors. This saved time is 
very appreciable wherever high speed elevators are concerned. 


In a building of say twenty floors where elevators are equipped with 
this device, six elevators so equipped will do the work of seven elevators 
not so equipped. The installation of six of these devices will save the 
entire cost of an extra elevator; of its equipment, installation, operation, 
maintenance and the valuable space occupied by it on every floor. 


No. 1400 equipment will operate any number of sliding doors; single; 
2-speed; 3-speed; bi-parting single as well as bi-parting 2-speed doors. 


Note—An attachment for opening and closing the gates or doors 
which are sometimes on the elevators themselves will be furnished when 
required at no additional expense. 


Speed 


The doors can be made to operate at whatever speed is required. A 
speed of 1% to 2 seconds for a 3 ft. 6 inch opening is recommended for 
office buildings or hotels. A somewhat slower speed should be used in 
department stores, apartment houses and situations where push button 
elevators are used. 


Excessively high speeds naturally have a detrimental effect upon doors 
and hardware. 


Whatever speed the machine may be set to deliver, that speed will 
be thereafter maintained, as the motor has a constant speed. 


It does not require any mechanical knowledge on the part of the car 
attendant to operate this device. 


A friction clutch prevents injury to anyone attempting to enter the 
car while the doors are being closed. The doors can be easily held while 
the power is on, and after opening is clear, the doors will finish their 
closing motion. Accidents may also be prevented by REVERSING the 
door motion. This is done by operating the control switch which is in 
front of and easily accessible to the car attendant. This switch controls 
an INSTANTANEOUS reversible motor at full speed. 


There must be 2%4 inches clearance over entrance of canopy of the 
elevator cab and 114 inches space between car and sills. 


49 All Electric, Nothing Pneumatic to Get Out of Order 























Elevation looking toward the cab from corridor side, with top of doorway and hangers cut away to allow a clear view of the 
operating machine. 


The Interlock 


An important and integral part of the No. 1400 Elevator Door Oper- 
ator is the interlocking mechanism; all doors must be locked before car 
can be moved, as the interlock prevents the car from being moved unless 
the doors are fully closed. 


This equipment requires BUT ONE INTERLOCK SWITCH, the one 
on top of the elevator cab. It can readily be seen that the expense of 
the purchase, installation, operation and maintenance of but one inter- 
lock switch and two oil checks per shaft is a great deal less than where 
one of each is required at every floor opening. 


Where there are interlock switches at every floor opening, when one 
gets out of order it prevents moving the car until it has been fixed. 


In order to discover which particular one is giving trouble it then be- 
comes necessary to test every interlock switch at every floor until the 
defective one is found. This requires considerable time; the more floors, 
the longer it will take to get things working right again. One interlock 


switch per shaft is simpler, less expensive and more to be desired than 
an interlock at each floor opening. 


50 Electrically Operated. No Air Compressor Required 

















operating machine mounted on top of cab just above the entrance. 


upward from same to floor range cam. 


Maintenance 


Only one door operating machine or device is required in each shaft. 
This is mounted on top of the elevator cab and is so designed that when 
the car is stopped at any landing and the door switch is thrown, the 
device makes contact with the door, releasing the. latch and opening 
it. From this it can easily be seen that there is only one device to main- 
tain and keep in repair and any operating difficulty is traceable to one 
machine, therefore easily located. The machine is easily accessible. 


Construction 


The machine is very compact. It is electrically controlled and driven 
by a 14 H. P. motor, 110 volts, A. C. or D. C. All motions are mechan- 
ically positive; motor is instantaneously reversible at full speed. Parts 
subjected to wear are made of specially hardened steel to insure long 
life and freedom from breakage. 


Each door is equipped with a gravity latch. The latch is bolted to the 
hanger and has an arm projecting from the hanger. This arm is in the 
path of and operated by the electric door opening and closing mechan- 
ism which is carried on top of the elevator cab.

Vertical section through doors and operator, showing how the operator grips 
the Latch Trip and Door Lug to release the latch and operate the doors. Operator 
releases its grip at the instant the door is fully closed and latched. 


At each opening a sange plate is mounted on the hanger to prevent 
the door opening motor from operating unless the car is at floor level or 
within four inches above or four inches below the floor level. 

On the car is mounted a switch lock which is in the path of the range 
plates. The switch lock is connected to the door opener control switch 
by arod which prevents making a contact in the control switch unless the 
switch lock is opposite the range plate. This gives a range of 8 inches 
(4 inches below and 4 inches above the floor level) in which the doors 
may be opened. Shorter ranges may be furnished if required. This 
also prevents the doors from being opened between the floors. However, 
in case the car is stalled between floors, doors may be opened by the car 
attendant by hand. 

The electric door operator is attached to the top of the car, opposite 
the door hanger. It is equipped with a forward and rear limit switch, 
also one gravity interlock. This interlock will prevent the car from 
being moved if doors are OPENED one-quarter of an inch, and they must 
be CLOSED to within one-eighth of an inch of the jamb before the ear 
can be moved. This insures the locking of each and every door. An 
emergency switch is provided in the car to permit operation of the doors 
for emergency use regardless of the Interlock. 

Oil checks on each end of the operating machine bring the doors to a 
gradual stop at each end of their movement, preventing slamming, noise 
and unnecessary shocks on the doors, hangers and other apparatus. 

Weight of equipment per car will not exceed 100 lbs.

there is not sufficient space between 
doors and car for other closers. See 
dimension diagram, Page 66. 

All bearing points (of Types D and M Closers) are 
large size and where necessary are fitted with hard- 
ened steel bushings to prevent excessive wear. 

Bars measure 114 inches in width, are strong and 
heavy, made to withstand long and rigorous service. 

The closing and checking mechanisms are separ- 
ate and can readily be regulated independently of 
each other to suit the varying conditions of the doors. 

Each of these closers is made in two sizes: The 
Nos. 743-2 Types D or M being of the same construc- 
tion as the Nos. 743-1 Types D or M except that the 
743-2 Closers are made with stronger closing powers 
for heavier doors than are the 743-1 Closers.

HE above closers are made especially for use on 
single doors for automatic push button or dual 

control elevators. The door arms are made so that 
they do not fall to a horizontal position, in that way 
making it possible to open the doors from the corridor 
side, which is necessary when car is operated by push 
button. The lever handles are used when car is oper- 
ated in the usual way by the car controller instead of 
push buttons. Types K and L Closers are not locks. 

All bearing points are large size and where neces- 
sary are fitted with hardened steel bushings to pre- 
vent excessive wear. 

Bars measure 114 inches in width, are strong and 
heavy, made to withstand long and rigorous service. 

The closing and checking mechanisms are separate 
and can readily be regulated independently of each 
other to suit the varying conditions of the doors. 

Each of the above closers are made in two sizes: 
The 743-2 being of the same construction as the 743-1 
except that the 743-2 is made with a stronger closing 
power for heavier doors. 

Refer to Page 86 for hold open attachments. 

Packed with screws.

i] 












































This device is designed to be connected to, and to operate 
with our No. 743 Door Closers. It prevents the opening of the 
shaft enclosure doors except when the car is within a prede- 
termined range or distance from the floor landing. This range 
may be 3 inches above or below, 4 inches above or below, or 
any other specified distance. 

When the car is within its range, and the door is started 
open, the lever carrying the roller comes in contact with the 
cam attached to the car, and the device is released so that the 
door can be opened, see small inset illustration at the right. 


If the car is either above or below the range, the lever with 
the roller on the end does not make a contact with the cam 
attached to the car and the device is then positively locked so 
the door closer cannot be moved and the door cannot be opened, 
see small inset to the left. 

The main part of the device is attached to the sill and is con- 
nected to the door closer by a rod which is vertically adjust- 
able. It can be attached to any of our regular No. 743 Door 
Closers.

Methods of Attaching 


Closers to Doors 


Elevator Door Closers are attached to the doors in various ways, 
depending upon the kind of door, length of door closer arm, and 
various other conditions. ; 

The above illustration is intended to give some idea of the 
various methods used. 

Closer Plate No. 1 extends entirely across the door and is used 
when it is necessary to attach the pivot of the closer somewhere 
near the center of the door. 

Closer Plate No. 2 is used on wood, kalamein or hollow metal 
doors when it is not necessary to locate the pivot far from the 
edge of the door. 

Closer Plate No. 3 is used for the fast door connection of 2- 
speed closers on wood, kalamein or hollow metal doors. 

Closer Plate No. 4 is used with angle iron or grill doors when 
the closer pivot can be located close to one side of the door. 

Closer Plate No. 5 is the fast door connection for use on grill 
or angle iron doors for 2-speed closers. 


Note:—No additional charge is made for any of the above 
plates.

No. 743-IL Electric Interlocks 


Patented 


Approved by the Underwriters’ Laboratories and the Bureau of Standards 


M ANY large cities and some states 
; have passed ordinances requir- 
ing the use of interlocks on passenger 
elevators which prevent the starting of 
elevator cars until the doors are closed 
and locked. 

The casualty insurance companies 
have granted a 10% reduction in the 
premium on liability risks covering ele- 
vator door openings when such open- 
ings are equipped with approved in- 
terlocks, as illustrated. 

Special consideration should be 
given the 743-IL Interlock because of 
its simplicity, which is due to a great 
extent to its Master Switch. 

The Master Switch is located in the 
pit at the bottom of the elevator shaft 
and is the only switch needed to oper- 
ate the interlocking mechanism of an 
elevator throughout its travel of many 
floors. 

Some interlocks require an individ- 
ual switch at each floor. When for 
one reason or another the power is cut 
off it is then necessary to inspect all of 
these individual switches until the 
trouble is located before the elevator 
operator can move the car. This isa 
real task and requires considerable 
time. 

Therefore one switch is more desirable 
than many. 


The No. 743-IL Rich-Wil Electric 
Interlock Equipment (as can be seen 
from the halftone and line drawings.on 
this and the following pages) consists 
of a Master Switch located in the pit 
of the elevator shaft, where it is read- 
ily accessible; of a pulley located in 
the pent house at the top of the eleva- 
tor shaft; of a wire, with weights at 
each end, which runs over the pulley 
at the top of the shaft, through a con- 
nection to the door closers at each floor 
and continues down the shaft and is at- 
tached to the operating mechanism of 
the Master Switch; and of door closers 
at each floor, with a device attached to 
them which opens the Master Switch 
and breaks the car controller circuit 
when the doors are open, and in that 
way automatically prevents operation 
of the car until the doors are closed. 

This Interlock, or Safety Device, 
requires no attention from the operator 
and provides a device that is positive, 
of great simplicity and not liable to 
get out of order.

Its Operation 


When any door in the shaft is 
opened, the closer on that door raises 
the wire which extends the full height 
of the shaft and connects with the 
Master Switch, opening the circuit to 
the car control and preventing opera- 
tion of the car. 


When doors are closed, the door 
closers allow the wire controlling the 
switch to be pulled down by the bottom 
weight, closing the circuit through the 
Master Switch and allowing the car to 
be operated. 


No. 743-IL Rich-Wil Electric Interlock 


Assures Superior Service Because: 


lst—Uses a single Master Switch 
for each elevator. (Eliminates using a 
switch at each door.) 


2nd—Its construction is unusually 
substantial, durable and efficient. 


3rd—Operates by gravity (no 
springs or small parts to give trouble). 


4th—The Master Switch is located 
where readily accessible. 


5th—Inspection may be made in an 
instant. (Avoids onerous task examin- 
ing switches at each door.) 


6th—Vastly excels in simplicity, 
construction, positiveness, ease of at- 
tention and thereby provides unusual 
dependability. 


An emergency switch, by means of 
which the car can be operated in emer- 
gencies regardless of whether the 
doors are open or closed is furnished 
for each car as regular equipment. 


Non-reversing devices to prevent 
opening the doors after they have been 
nearly closed, until they have first been 
fully closed, can be furnished when re- 
quired. (See Pages 69 and 86.) 


Floor range devices, to prevent 
opening the doors except when the car 
is within a range of three or four inches 
above or below the landing, furnished 
when required. (See Page 71.) 


Sequence relays, to prevent starting 
the car unless the car controller is 
started from neutral position after the 
doors are closed, can also be furnished 
if required. (Priced on application.)

No. 748 


Door Closer with Individual Electric Interlock Switch 














SS 






This electro-mechanical interlock is a combination of a door closer, a 
door check and an electric interlock switch, all combined in a single unit. 

The interlock switch is so designed that a very slight movement of the 
door breaks the electric circuit through the car controller, making it 
impossible to move the car. 

The projection of the switch from the face of the door is about %, 
inch more than the door closer. The distance from the wall attachment 
to the end of the switch lever, measured parallel with the front wall, is 
614 inches. From these figures the necessary clearances can easily be 
determined. 

Can be furnished in any of the types listed for our regular No. 743 
Door Closers.

and prevents the operation of the car. 


Many cities and states already specify Me- 
chanical Interlocks and the R-W No. 744 has 
been developed to meet these requirements and 
at the same time provide a device that is very 
simple, of few parts and that operates noise- 
lessly. In addition, it requires absolutely no at- 
tention from the operator. 


The No. 744 Mechanical Interlock is designed for use on Elevators with Electric Controllers 
where the doors are operated by R-W No. 743 Elevator Door Closers. The combination of. R-W No. 
744 Mechanical Interlock and R-W No. 743 Elevator Door Closer offers a double protection against 
accidents; the former preventing the operation of the car except when the doors are closed, and the 
latter preventing the opening of the doors, except from the car. The Mechanical Interlock requires 
no attention from operator with feet or hands. The Door Closer positively and quietly closes the 
doors. (The No. 744 Mechanical Interlock can be furnished with simple horizontal locking bars, in- 
stead of the Door Closer, if so desired. See page 84.) 


Many States Demand That Elevators Be Equipped with Interlocks

No. 725 


Electro-Mechanical Interlock 


Approved by The National Board of Underwriters 


The No. 725 Interlock consists of a Bar Lock similar to the No. 
625, illustrated on the following page, and an Electric Cut-Out 
Switch, which serves as a keeper for the bar lock. 


The upper end of the bar lock has a hook which engages with 
the movable part of the switch, so that when the bar is released 
the contact block in the switch is positively pulled downward, 
breaking the electric circuit through the car controller. 


The switches are reversible for right or left hand doors. 


Bar Locks of Types A, B or C brackets can be furnished (see 
next page). The bar locks are furnished in two finishes: dead 
black; dead black with solid brass handle and door brackets. 


Switch is always furnished in dead black finish. One switch 
required at each doorway.

When the Locking Bar is in this position, it is im- 
possible to open the doors from the corridor side 


It is sometimes desirable to use an elevator door operating 
device which is less expensive than the standard door closers. 
The No. 740 Horizontal Locking Bars have been designed to 
meet this demand. The operation is the same as a door closer 
except that the spring closing power and the oil checking de- 
vices are omitted. It is necessary to close the doors manually. 

When the doors are closed and the locking bars are in a hori- 
zontal position the doors are securely locked. The No. 740 
Type A Horizontal Locking Bars are designed so that the bar 
can be readily disconnected from the sliding door without the 
use of tools. It is only necessary to turn the spring knob and 
withdraw the bar from its connection to the sliding door. The 
locking bars require no keeper and the only attachment to the 
jamb or wall is at the wall pivot end of the locking bars. All 
locking bars are fitted with non-reversible device which pre- 
vents the doors from being re-opened after they have been 
closed within 3 inches of the jamb, without first completing the

the door in case the car should leave the landing when the door 
was not quite closed. Made of steel, dead black finish with 
solid brass handle. The handle of the No. 740 Type A Hori- 
zontal Locking Bar, when the doors are closed, stands at an 
angle making it easy to grasp in operating and allowing a direct 
pull against the doors. 

The Type B Horizontal Locking Bar is exactly the same in 
every respect as the No. 740 Type A except that the bar to which 
the handle is attached extends in a horizontal plane when the 
doors are closed and the bars are not equipped with the means 
for readily detaching from the door. The No. 740 Type B is 
recommended more especially for single sliding doors without 
swing-out devices. It is equipped with a non-reversing device 
to prevent opening the door after it has been closed within 3 
inches of the jamb without first completing the closing move- 
ment.

No. 653 and No. 654 Non-Reversing 
Devices 


Some elevator codes require non-reversing 
devices on elevator doors designed to release 
or allow the car to start when the doors are 
nearly closed, but to prevent the re-opening 
of the doors until they have first been fully 
closed. It is understood of course that when 
the doors are fully closed that they are latched 
and locked by other means so that they cannot 
be opened accidentally from the corridor side. 

The non-reversing device as shown in IIlus- 
trations A and B is designed for use at the 
bottom of single doors or doors in pairs. 

Illustrations C and D show device designed 
for use at the top of 2 or 3-speed doors. 

Illustration A shows the door entirely 
closed. Note that the pawl is free to swing 
and pass over the notches when the door 
moves in the direction of the arrow. Note that 
in Illustration B the door can move in the 
direction of the arrow, but that it cannot be 
moved in the opposite direction because the 
pawl will lock in the notch. The same condi- 
tions are shown in the Illustrations C and D.

In populous New York; bustling Chicago; progressive 
San Francisco; in scores of cities in between, leading ar- 
chitects have learned from experience that Richards- 
Wilcox elevator door equipment gives super-excellent 
service in every type of building. In office and loft build- 
ings it is selected because of its ability to stand up under 
long, hard usage. In hotels, clubs and apartment houses 
it is preferred for its noiselessness and dignified appear- 
ance. 

Its perfect operation not only contributes to the comfort 
and safety of guests and tenants, but Richards-Wilcox 
equipment is economical, it requiring only the periodical 
lubrication necessary for any moving part. 

Good elevator service cannot be maintained with in- 
ferior door hangers and closers. The advantages of high- 
speed elevators may be lost if time must be wasted at each 
stop struggling with the doors. Elevator doors equipped 
with R-W elevator door hardware close easily, swiftly, 
noiselessly and completely with one motion. 

R-W hangers, closers, checking devices, safety inter- 
locks and operators are separate mechanisms, yet so con- 
structed that they synchronise perfectly, forming a Com- 
plete Unit Control. 

Hangers evenly distribute the weight of the doors. 
Doors so equipped operate smoothly and noiselessly. 

Closers are designed to allow easy and rapid operation. 
Quietness is assured by an adjustable liquid check. 

Interlocks: electric; electro-mechanical; or mechan- 
ical, may be added to the above closers at any time with- 
out changing the closer mechanism. 

For complete safety, silent, sure performance—specify 
and install Richards-Wilcox Elevator Door Equipment.
